OpenACS/.LRN for Debian

Logo

Packages of OpenACS and .LRN are now available for Debian GNU/Linux . We hope to facilitate the adoption by novices and the infrastructure deployment by professional users, both running Debian GNU/Linux and its derivates. Our packaging activity explicitly targets Debian GNU/Linux Lenny , testing and unstable . Important dependencies are co-maintained with the Debian Tcl/Tk Maintainers .

See also OpenACS for Ubuntu.

Getting started

Please, review the section on supported distributions first. Currently, the core packages (openacs, dotlrn) and their dependencies are included into Debian GNU/Linux testing /unstable . There is also a community repository available with packages for Debian GNU/Linux Lenny .

Install

Debian Lenny Users: Modify your /etc/apt/sources.list to point to our community repository and update your package pool:

deb http://debian.adenu.ia.uned.es/apt lenny main

Debian Testing/Unstable (Squeeze/Sid) Users: packages are already included in the official debian repositories:
- http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/dotlrn.html
- http://packages.qa.debian.org/o/openacs.html
Then run:

apt-get update
(optional) Provide for a PostgreSQL environment: If you don't have a PostgreSQL installation at hand, provide one. You do not need to care about setting up a concrete data base. This is automatically done by the openacs and dotlrn post-install instructions. For further PostgreSQL-related set-up issue, see ...

apt-get install postgresql
If you run a remote PostgreSQL instance, remember to allow for access of the PostgreSQL Administrator (postgres) and the openacs/dotlrn user from machine hosting your OpenACS/.LRN installation.
Install the core packages and follow the on-screen instructions:

# OpenACS
apt-get install openacs
... or ...

# .LRN
apt-get install dotlrn

After Install

(optional) To change IP address and port of the instance, please edit the file:

# OpenACS on Debian Testing/Unstable
/etc/openacs/openacs.sh

# dotLRN on Debian Testing/Unstable
/etc/dotlrn/dotlrn.sh

# OpenACS on Debian Lenny
/etc/openacs/config.tcl

# dotLRN on Debian Lenny
/etc/dotlrn/config.tcl
(optional) To control the instance using daemontools, please install the daemontools debian packages and follow the instructions on the file:

# OpenACS
/usr/share/doc/openacs/README.daemontools

# dotLRN
/usr/share/doc/dotlrn/README.daemontools
